(18) Trypanosoma Cruzi Answer-Cause of Chagas' disease
(18) Dry gangrene Answer-often occurs in persons with impaired
peripheral blood flow
(18) Internal gangrene (white gangrene) Answer-generally contracted
after surgery or trauma
(18) Wet gangrene Answer-occurs in organs lined by mucous membranes
such as the mouth, lower intestinal tract, lungs, and cervix
(18) Gas gangrene Answer-caused by bacteria that produce gas within the
infected tissue. Toxins produced will cause necrosis; if untreated the condition is
fatal.
(18) Principles of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) Answer-group of febrile
illnesses ranging in severity from relatively mild to life-threatening. Caused by
four distinct viral families: Arenaviridae, Filoviridae, Bunyaviridae, and
Flaviviridae. All VHFs characterized by fever, overall vascular system damage,
and bleeding disorders that can lead to high fever, shock, and death. Although

Answers
distributed over much of the world, many VHFs are present in geographically
limited areas and risk of infection is restricted to those areas.
(18) Systemic Mycosis Answer-fungal infections capable of affecting all
internal organs. Persons with a competent immune system may be
asymptomatic or show only minor symptoms. Immune-compromised patients
(including persons with HIV, cancer, or neutropenia, organ transplant recipients,
patients recovering from pancreatitis or splenectomy, those with diabetes, the
very old, and the very young) are at high risk for infection. Treatment may
include adjusting immune-suppressing medications or administering antifungal
medications.
